What each plan includes and what happens when you hit a limit.
What do the plans cost?
Publisher Free covers 1 story a month with 3 AI drafts, 3 integrity checks, 30 transcription minutes, 1 photo per piece and 1 published piece, in English. Publisher Max is $9 a month and covers 10 stories a month with up to 10 drafts per story. No credits to buy, no per-minute meters.
What happens when I hit my draft limit?
Drafting stops for that story until the next monthly period, or until you upgrade. Editing, publishing and everything else keeps working.
What if I need more than 10 stories a month?
We're working on a plan that supports more than 10 stories per month - this will be released soon (as of 18 September 2026).
What does Suru take from reader revenue?
6.5% of what readers pay, after card processing fees. Substack takes 10% of the gross.
Can Suru handle payments from my readers?
Yes — a free add-on for Publisher Max publishers. Subscriptions run end to end through Stripe with your publication's name on the reader's statement.
